Kael Draven slowly shook his head, a trace of disdain flickering across his face.“So this is the Sect Master of the Blood Sea Sect? A Supreme martial artist?”His gaze drifted toward Gavin Frost's corpse lying motionless on the arena floor.“And yet he couldn't even survive a single move.”If he had said something like that in the past, the crowd would have laughed him out of the arena.Now?Not one person laughed.Not one person dared.The reason was simple. Gavin Frost was dead.A genuine Supreme martial artist had just been killed in a single strike, and everyone had witnessed it with their own eyes.At a certain point, strength speaks louder than any words ever could.Still, only Kael Draven understood how close that battle had been.To everyone else, it looked effortless. In reality, he had been gambling with his life from the very beginning.The Fire Qilin had entrusted him with three drops of Blood Essence, each one prepared specifically for the Blood Sea Sect's three Supremes

Two Void Earth Venerables.Out of the Six Great Sects, only the Blood Sea Sect and the Ghost King Sect could boast martial artists of that level.The atmosphere over Boundless Blood Sea grew noticeably heavier.Hovering in the air, Kevin Frost stared at Jayden Thane, his eyes narrowing.“Jayden Thane, are you really going to involve yourself in the grudge between my Blood Sea Sect and Kael Draven?”He wasn't stupid.People like Jayden Thane didn't show up for no reason. For a Second-Level Earth Venerable to personally appear because of a junior martial artist was unbelievable enough on its own.What bothered Kevin Frost even more was the gap between them.Jayden Thane had already reached the Second-Level Earth Venerable Realm, while he had only recently broken through to the First Level. On paper, it was just one realm apart, but martial artists knew better than anyone how enormous that difference could be.If they actually fought, Kevin Frost wasn't confident he could win.The Earth

The Blood Sea Sect had completely fallen into disaster—no, worse than disaster. It was collapse.Ten Venerables and one Supreme… gone. Nearly everything that made the sect powerful had been wiped out in one sweep. And just when it seemed like things couldn’t possibly sink any lower, the last two Supremes also fell.At that point, the once-dominant Blood Sea Sect was basically empty.Nothing left standing except Kevin Frost.Alone. Like a general who’d lost every soldier under his command.And honestly, that kind of silence around him… it was worse than noise. It was enough to push a man straight into madness.Up in the sky, Kevin Frost fought like a trapped beast. Every strike he sent at Jayden Thane was desperate, vicious—almost like he was trying to tear reality apart itself.But Jayden Thane was a Second-Level Earth Venerable.That gap wasn’t something rage could cross. Not even close.No matter how hard Kevin Frost pushed, it was pointless. The battle had already reached a terrify

The Blood Sea Sect.At the center of the sect stood Boundless Blood Sea, a place every disciple had heard of but very few had ever seen. It was known as the greatest cultivation ground in the entire Blood Sea Sect. Ordinary disciples weren't allowed anywhere near it, and even core disciples rarely had the privilege of training there.But there was a secret most people never knew.Boundless Blood Sea wasn't just a sacred cultivation site. It was also one of the most dangerous places in the sect.No one could stay there for long.The reason was the Blood Pool.The crimson pool hidden deep within the Boundless Blood Sea had always been surrounded by mystery. Stories about it had circulated for generations. Anyone who fell into it was said to disappear forever. No body. No bones. Nothing left behind.And now, that very place had become the center of a storm that swept across the entire Nine Provinces.Kael Draven's attack on the Blood Sea Sect spread faster than anyone could have imagined

The Royal City’s intervention—and the arrival of an Enforcement Heaven Venerable—had already sealed Kevin Frost’s fate. There was no escape left for him. Not even a sliver.Once he died, the Blood Sea Sect was basically finished. Gone. Erased from Celestia overnight.Just like that, the Ghost King Sect climbed to the very top of Celestia. No competition left. No one to challenge them anymore.News of Kevin Frost’s execution at the hands of the Royal City’s Enforcement Heaven Venerable spread fast—way too fast. In just a few days, it had reached every corner of the Nine Provinces.And the moment people heard it, the whole world shifted.The Royal City was back.That Royal City Decree, silent for years, suddenly reappeared out of nowhere. And that alone was enough to make every major power uneasy.But that wasn’t even the real shock.The second piece of news hit even harder.The Ghost King Sect was now officially acting as the Royal City’s representative in Celestia.At first, a lot of s
